    Lets Talk OKC Thinder, How to Make $$$$$

    Coming i to this season, I had high hopes for this Thunder team. Even after losing KD, they have a solid nucleus left.

    They've got good guards, a nice set of bigs, and pretty solid defense

    BUT......heres what worries me

    Russell Wesbrook

    The age old adage "Your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness" rings true here

    Russell has failed thus far to be a leader, to make others better, or more importantly, he's not even getting them involved.

    The other night against Phoenix, he had 50 FGA... Tonight he was the only player with DD with 30 FGA

    RW is going to get tired. Others are going to get tired of not eing involved. One of OKC's biggest strength is their bigs and they're non existent right now.

    Right now, the OKC Thunder are a SELL!!!!

    This is a team that can have success if Weatbrook becomes a team player. If not, they'll reaemble the Lakers late in Kobes career

    Tomorrow, they will not cover the 11.5

    4x play

    He's a one man army, JJ

    How much success can a one man army have in the NbA?

    He wont involve Adams or Oladipo

    I can't believe the guy never tires he reminds me a little bit of Allen Iversen

    I think Oklahoma City has better players than the laker teams with Kobe

    No way it's a close game tomorrow night

    I think they can down low

    But will Russ involve them on the offensive end?

    OKC has always struggled to guard the perimeter, even last year. Maybe picking up Oladipo and shedding Ibaka helps that, we'll see. But all I know as of now is that OKC cant guard the arc and thats the GSW strength. And Russ is going 1-on-5, and Kerr is kinda smart
